Radiation protection during scoliosis surgery:
Prioritize your safety

The safety of our patients is our top priority, especially during surgical procedures such as scoliosis surgery. An important aspect of safety to which we pay particular attention is radiation protection. We use state-of-the-art technologies and proven procedures to minimize radiation exposure during scoliosis surgery and protect the health of our patients.

​

Importance of radiation protection during scoliosis operations:

During scoliosis surgery, the use of imaging techniques such as x-rays and fluoroscopy may be necessary to ensure precise placement of instruments and implants. Although these procedures are extremely helpful, they may involve some exposure to ionizing radiation, which poses potential risks to the patient. Therefore, effective radiation protection is crucial to minimize radiation exposure and ensure safety during the procedure.

​

Our radiation protection measures:

• Use of state-of-the-art technologies: We use state-of-the-art imaging equipment and fluoroscopic systems specifically designed to reduce radiation exposure without compromising image quality. These technologies allow us to obtain precise images with minimal radiation dose.

• Optimization of acquisition parameters: Our experienced radiologists and surgeons work closely together to optimize acquisition parameters and ensure that only the necessary radiation dose is used to obtain the required information.

• Use of protective devices: During scoliosis surgery, both medical staff and the patient wear lead-containing protective clothing and shields to minimize exposure to scattered radiation.

• Staff training: Our medical staff receive regular training in radiation protection techniques to ensure they can provide the best possible care with radiation protection in mind.

​

Our commitment to safety:

We recognize the potential risks of radiation exposure and are committed to protecting our patients. By implementing strict radiation safety measures and using state-of-the-art technologies, we strive to reduce radiation exposure during scoliosis surgery to an absolute minimum without compromising the quality of care.
